DESCRIPTION

blaze-config is a simple configuration tool for the BlazeBlogger.

displays the current value of the specified option, or sets/replaces it
with the new one.
The accepted option name is in the form of dot separated section and
key (e.g. user.name). For the complete list of available options along
with the explanation of their meaning, see the appropriate section
below.

should an occasional visitor expect to find.
blog.theme
Blog theme; the value should point to an existing file in the
.blaze/theme directory.
blog.style
Blog stylesheet; the value should point to an existing file, either
in ".blaze/style" (recommended), or in the destination directory
where the static content is to be placed.
blog.lang

".blaze/lang" directory.
blog.posts

10.

color.list
Whether to use coloured post/pages listing; the value has to be
either "true", or "false". Colours are turned off by default.
color.log
Whether to use coloured log listing; the value has to be either
"true", or "false". Colours are turned off by default.
core.encoding
Records encoding in the form recognised by the W3C HTML 4.01
standard (e.g. the default UTF-8).
core.extension
File extension for the generated pages. By default, the "html" is
used as a reasonable choice.
core.editor
Text editor to be used for editing purposes. Unless this option is
set, BlazeBlogger tries to use system wide settings by looking for
"EDITOR" environment variable, and if neither of these options is
supplied, "vi" is used as a considerably reasonable option.
core.processor
Optional external application to be used to process the entries;
use "%in%" and "%out%" in place of input and output file names
(e.g. "markdown --html4tags %in% > %out%"). Nevertheless, if you
intend to write your content in HTML directly, feel free to leave
this option empty (the default setting).
post.author
Location of the post author information; available options are
"top", "bottom", or "none". Author is placed above the post (below
its heading) by default.
post.date
Location of the post date of publishing information; available
options are "top", "bottom", or "none". Date of publishing is
placed above the post (below its heading) by default.
post.tags
Location of the post tags; available options are "top", "bottom",
or "none". Tags are placed above the post (below its heading) by
default.
user.name
User’s name to be used as a default posts’ author and optionally
anywhere on the page, depending on the theme (e.g. in the copyright
notice).
user.email
User’s e-mail. Depending on the theme, it can be used anywhere on
the page (e.g. in the copyright notice). However, non of the
official themes actually use it.

ENVIRONMENT

EDITOR
Unless the BlazeBlogger specific option core.editor is set, blaze-
edit tries to use system wide settings to decide which editor to
run. If neither of these options are supplied, the vi is used
instead as a considerably reasonable choice.
